Jesse Crain told Scott Merkin of MLB.com that he's not ruling out pitching in the majors again.

Crain hasn't pitched in the big leagues since June of 2013 and didn't pitch anywhere at all in 2016, as his career has been sidetracked by shoulder issues. The righty is now 35 and says while the word retirement is "not going to come out of my mouth," he's also "still kind of waiting to see if I get an itch either way." Crain is currently doing charity work and says that being part of an organization in a non-playing role is "what I'm leaning toward right now." Jan 27 - 1:53 PM

Crain's been dealing with a cranky shoulder over the last few weeks. He'll continue his rehab at the minor league level. The righty hasn't thrown off the mound since March 18 and has said that he doesn't want to rush his recovery. Wed, Apr 1, 2015 12:16:00 PM

Jesse Crain (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing off a mound.

Crain felt soreness in his shoulder following a minor league appearance on March 18 and has been limited to playing catch since then. He'll stay back in extended spring training and it's unclear how long he'll be out. "But I'm moving forward again," said Crain. "Obviously, when you first come in, you feel like there's a chance, as I was doing so well. ... I don't want to rush it, and [I want to] make sure I'm there and there for good when it happens."

Jesse Crain (shoulder) is experiencing a little more soreness than normal following an appearance in a minor league game Wednesday.

It doesn't come as a surprise, as it was Crain's first appearance in a live game since June of 2013. While it's not considered a major setback, he can now be ruled out for Opening Day. Crain will play light catch Friday and try regular catch in a few days. Fri, Mar 20, 2015 02:47:00 PM

Nick Delmonico will be shut down for 3-4 weeks as he recovers from shoulder inflammation.

Delmonico injured his shoulder in the last week of the regular season. The 25-year-old utility player batted .262/.373/.482 with nine home runs over his first 43 major league games this season with the White Sox, though his minor league numbers suggest he's in for some regression in 2018.

Nate Jones underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow on Tuesday.

It was a nerve repositioning procedure, not Tommy John surgery or any other sort of ligament repair, which will hopefully translate to Jones being ready for the start of spring training next February. The 31-year-old right-hander logged just 11 relief appearances for the White Sox in 2017, to the tune of a 2.31 ERA. He's due $3.95 million from Chicago in 2018.
